EVENT LOG PT. 1: Dueling Festivals

Who: Everyone!
What: EPCOT's Dream Festival and Plankton's Plankton Festival.
Where: EPCOT!
When: May 18th to May 25th.
Warnings: Plankton.



DREAM FESTIVAL
DI.

(Imageworks.)

The Dream Festival is held at EPCOT's Imagination Pavilion, largely held upstairs. The downstairs area is is dedicated to the ride itself - a ten-minute look at the wonder and joy of Imagineering, while the theater next door is some sort of documentary about a figure named Captain EO. But the real excitement upstairs, is in the newly revamped Imageworks Pavillion - The Junior
Imagination Station.

Billed as an escape to worlds that were, that could be, and those of fantasy and reality, the Imageworks is designed to get people interested in Imagineering, and as such, is filled with exhibits designed to boggle the mind. This includes the Rainbow Corridor, a tunnel featuring colored lights that assigns each guest a color that follows them as they move through it, among other things. A giant wall-mounted coloring book that gets filled in with electric "paintbrush guns", a series of floor panels that can be stepped on and make sounds, a giant pin screen, you name it.

DII.

(Dreamscape Room.)

One of the more ambitious new add-ons to the pavilion is the Dreamscape Room, a room that is set up to configure to one specific person's desire. Whoever's in control of the Dreamscape Room at the moment (each visitor has a time of five minutes within the Dreamscape Room before it's passed on to the next person)
is able to shape and form a new world within the room, one that will disappear as soon as they leave. This is displayed in photorealistic light and sound, allowing for you to bring anything from your imagination right in front of you.

How will you use your time? Bringing to life a new creation, or perhaps showcasing your home world to others? Living out an old fantasy - a memory? You have a small amount of time here, and you should make the best of it.

DIII.

(With apologies to Cosmographia.)

Just outside of the Imagination Pavillion is a garden - series of colorful flowers and a Figment topiary. It's not explicitly advertised as being part of the exhibit, but there are a rainbow of flowers here, and they seem to be just as much a part of the festival as anything else. For, you see, picking a flower will make you feel a certain emotion for up to an hour, or until another flower is picked. This will depend on the color of the flower chosen. Below is a list of all the different ones!

PLANKTON FESTIVAL
PI.

(Trashfire.)

Meanwhile, directly across from the Imageworks Pavillion, this shit is happening I guess?

The primary attraction of the Plankton Festival is a statue of Plankton made out of what appears to be popsicle sticks. Surrounding this is a foodcart selling lukewarm chum on a stick, terrible yellow balloons that feature a cartoon eye (+the above horrifying balloon animals, a stall selling Chum Bucket Bucket Helmets, and a throne set up for Plankton himself. Much like Santa Claus, you can get a picture of him sitting in a throne with you either standing incredibly far away from him or being directly on top of him.

There's also literally a garbage can that's on fire. This is considered the highlight of the festival by many.

PII.

(Ballpit.)

At some point, it is decided that the festival needs a new attraction. So, they bring it in:

[So. Beaker's spending an unfortunate amount of time at the Plankton festival today- being an unwilling henchman to the mayor means he doesn't have much of a choice. You might find him hawking Plankton themed goods, selling the disgusting chum, or... set up in the dunk tank Plankton made just for Beaker.

The balls for the dunking booth are all made to look like eyeballs with antennae on them. The "water" is actually more chum. Should you approach and begin to pick up one of the balls, Beaker will silently beg for mercy. Please don't dunk him.

Later, Beaker is tired, depressed, and covered in chum. And he hears the tail end of a conversation with the rare, scattered patrons about the Dream Festival.

... So he's ditching the hell out of his post.

Later, after a change of clothes and probably a shower, Beaker can be found checking out literally everything at the Dream Festival. You'll have to physically pry him away from this place.

He's running around the Rainbow Corridor with his new friend, Electric Blue Color, hopping around on the floor panels, trying out all of the paint guns... You can join him if you like.

He leaves looking happier than he has in weeks, maybe even years. Next, Beaker checks out the garden, plucking one of the dark green flowers. Beaker frowns a little, curious. He feels like that was supposed to do something to him. Fortunately, no matter the situation, Beaker is literally always terrified, so a frightened flower does very little to him. If you find him, maybe you can convince him to pick a different flower, or show off the effects of your own.

He leaves the Dreamscape Room for last. He won't stop anyone from peeking into his creation, though for now, there's not much there. It looks like an old theater...

Beaker sits on the stage, alone. He looks... nostalgic.]

Well, isn't this cute! [Just cooing over the balls.] A little bouncy friend, hm? I'm sure you're having buckets of fun with this.

[Beaker can't tell if she's talking to the eyeballs or himself, and either way he's terrified, because if she's interested in the balls then she's interested in this game and if she's interested in this game-]

Mimimuhmeepmi mi-minmimumi meep!!! Mi-muhhmuhna meep mi!!

[He's shaking his head "no", his hands up in a placating gesture. Please, he only started his shift two minutes ago.]
allknowledgegoodknowledge: (A very handsome deal)

[personal profile] allknowledgegoodknowledge 2018-05-18 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, do you want the ball too? They are quite charming aren't they?

[personal profile] flowersonthewall 2018-05-19 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[nope Beaker sees how this is going and he does not like it-]

MEE! MIMUH-MEEP MIMI!

[She tosses her ball up and down in the air.]

My my, you are excited aren't you? Far be it from me to keep you from something you want.

[personal profile] flowersonthewall 2018-05-19 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ok, protesting looks like eagerness. Beaker immediately clams up, his eyes bulging more than usual with distress. Please don't throw it, please don't throw it, please don't throw it...]
allknowledgegoodknowledge: (Why don't we have a girl's night!)

[personal profile] allknowledgegoodknowledge 2018-05-19 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh goodness, the excitement is just too large to bear, hm? How about this: I'll toss it right where you want me to!

[She starts winding up her arms, preparing for the big throw.]

[Beaker braces himself, accepting his fate.]

[The ball flies through the air, soaring towards the target.]
allknowledgegoodknowledge: (We have fun here)

[personal profile] allknowledgegoodknowledge 2018-05-22 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Stop.

[And that's shit's freezing in mid-air. Probably the same time freeze spell heading towards Beaker too.]
flowersonthewall: (02)

[personal profile] flowersonthewall 2018-05-22 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
... M-meep?

[Beaker relaxes for just a fraction of a second, uncomprehending, before the time spell hits him, too.]
allknowledgegoodknowledge: (We have fun here)

[personal profile] allknowledgegoodknowledge 2018-05-22 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Alright, she has less than 60 seconds. Game time.

She races over to Beaker and quickly pulls him out of the dunk tank. She sets him back where she was standing, posing his arm in a throwing motion. Then she had to quickly hop into the tank herself before the ball's time runs out.

[... What? Where is he? When did he move? Where's the dunk tank- oh, right there-

Oh. Oh]


M-mi?

[Don't play mindgames with this pathetic little muppet he's so tired and confused

But he has enough sense to put his arm back down immediately, looking around fearfully to see if anyone is around to assume he was the one who dunked her in the Chum.]

At last, the stage! Finally, I shall have a place to perform my magnum opus!

[Count Olaf says, literally jumping onto the Muppet Theater stage. He actually shoves Beaker out of the way as he does this.]

[personal profile] flowersonthewall 2018-05-22 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
MEEP!

[Beaker falls off the stage, startled.]

Mee-muh meep mi muh mi-mi!!!

[Hey, this is his home! Beaker sounds genuinely indignant.

And then... Music cues up, from the orchestra pit, though there appear to be no players. ...Ah, nevermind, there they are! But since Beaker's not really concentrating on them- he's too distracted by Olaf's appearance-, they look kind of... odd.]
